Divisibility Rule of 258

The divisibility rule for 258 is a method by which we can find out if a number is divisible by 258 or not without using the division method. Check whether 516 is divisible by 258 with the divisibility rule.

Step 1: Divide the number by 2, since 258 is an even number, and check if the result is an integer.

Step 2: Divide the resulting quotient by 3 (since the sum of the digits of 258 is 15, which is divisible by 3).

Step 3: Divide the resulting quotient by 43 (since 258 divided by 6 equals 43).

Step 4: If all these divisions result in integers, the original number is divisible by 258.

For example, let's check if 516 is divisible by 258.
- 516 divided by 2 equals 258.
- 258 divided by 3 equals 86.
- 86 divided by 43 equals 2.

Since all divisions resulted in integers, 516 is divisible by 258.

Learning the divisibility rule will help kids to master division. Let’s learn a few tips and tricks for the divisibility rule of 258.

• Know the factors of 258: Memorize the prime factors of 258, which are 2, 3, and 43, to quickly check divisibility. 
   
• Use sequential division: Divide the number by 2, then 3, and then 43, ensuring each division results in an integer.
   
• Repeat the process for large numbers: Students should keep repeating the divisibility process until they reach a small number that is divisible by 258.
   
• Use the division method to verify: Students can use the division method as a way to verify and cross-check their results. This will help them to verify and also learn.
